Truly west side like Portland is going to be hard to crack.

As far as some general criteria/thoughts:- My workplace is in the Cobb/Vinings area and I would ideally like to be a < 30 min drive to work (though I don't mind if its up to 1 hour away since that is my current commute)- I'm interested in using a FHA loan to put ~5% of a down payment (3.5% down pmt + 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium)- My target all-in purchase price range is between 200k - 400k - I would prefer to live in a 'A' or 'B' class property that I could rent another unit to a young or established professional/college or grad student- Just from discussion with my friends, a lot of them seem to dig living in areas like Midtown, Buckhead, Virginia Highlands, Brookhaven, Lindbergh.. how feasible would it be for me to househack in any of those areas and expect to generate a decent return in the future once I move out and rent out my unit?

@Josh Guo you may want to check the marketplace you can find professionals offering their services there 

So be sure to check with a local tax professional.

I have heard about all the nightmare stories regarding people that signed leases without seeking professional help, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good commercial lease broker that represents the tenant around the Philadelphia area

There are times when you need to just pay the professional.   

Any professional painters out there?

I intend to take the proper steps to have a professional find the source of the mold, test it, and have the mold remediated.
